Judge nixes North Fork plan Ruling means no dredge mining allowed in Clearwater

[RANGER31]

The U.S. Forest Service prevailed in its bid to keep the North Fork of the Clearwater River off limits to suction dredge mining.
In a 27-page ruling, Administrative Law Judge Robert Holt from the U.S. Department of Interior said recreation like fishing and the river's archeological history are more important, both economically and culturally, than suction dredge mining. He also said the government successfully proved there is no evidence of sufficient gold deposits in the area to warrant exploration.

Is people mining where there's no gold a big problem,.. anywhere?

 

[dredgeman]

Yes but the United States does not exist on only gold mining. We use many different minerals for MODERN society. And as US citizens use to have the right to find them.

 

[dredgeman]

and before you say suction dredge is gold mining. Think Rare earths. We need them
